Goldmund TELOS 1800 Power Amp Unveiled
Ultra high-end Swiss audio brand Goldmund announced its newest mono power amp, the Telos 1800.
With a maximum power of 420Wrms (8 Ω) with just 1% total harmonic distortion (THD), the Telos 1800 slots in nicely between the Telos 3300 NextGen and Telos 1000 NextGen models in Goldmund's mono power amplifier lineup. At 30Vrms output, the Telos 1800 has a THD+N of less than 0.05%, ensuring distortion is extremely low.
The amplifier has an output noise floor of < 3μV from 20Hz to 20kHz when unloaded, along with a gain of 35dB, a dynamic range of 110dB and a damping factor of 600 at 1kHz (8Ω).
Thanks to hardware improvements like increasing the thickness of the panel structure to 12mm up from 6-8mm, the Telos 1800's enclosure is even more rigid, improving the amplifier's mechanical grounding and vibration dispersion.
On the rear, there is an AC earth binding post, two output binding posts, a 4B speaker connector output, RCA unbalanced input, XLR balanced input, digital input and output RCA connectors, as well as an RS232 command connector.
The Telos 1800 comes in the signature Goldmund silver grey with a personalisation option available for the ring on the top left of the amplifier, as customers can choose between gold or silver grey to better match their existing setups.
With a suggested retail price of £77,500 per unit, a stereo pair of the Telos 1800 will cost £155,000. In comparison, Goldmund's flagship Telos 8800 mono power amplifier costs £350,000 per unit or £700,000 per pair.
